A word from your Mods - Please help Japan!
Hello lolitas,
I'm sure you're all aware of the earthquake / tsunami that's hit Japan. The mods would like to encourage everyone to help or donate in any way they can.
We are a community of 17,000+ members, if each of us donate $1, that's $17,000 we are donating to the relief efforts, which can help provide aid, food, supplies, shelter to those who need the help.
We would ike to encourage everyone to donate to their favorite relief charity but in case you don't have one in mind, here is a list of well known, reliable charities to donate to (thanks drahtpuppe )

This isn't in any way a requirement, but the thought of 17,000+ lolitas uniting together to affect change in the world puts a smile on our faces.
If you've donated, please let us know how much using this poll- we would like to keep track of the efforts. Also, if you know of any other reliable charities within your locale, please comment!
EDIT: As of 142 participants, we have raised $4,418 usd! Let's keep going!
EDIT 2: This turned out to be a post about donations so we're going to try and inform everyone as best as we can:
If you are scared about where your donations are going:
- You can donate directly to the Japanese Red Cross
- You can use this site to help you understand how charities spend their money(thanks shincaru)
Donating to a charity is your choice so please make it an informed one!
